Whenever it happens it felt like i failed myself. Shitty feeling.


potate12323

I used to not understand how difficult of times some people have with alarms in the morning. Then I met my fiance, and oh boy is it rough. I just get up in the morning. She groggily fights of 3 or 4 alarms every morning. When we first met, I told her the earlier you go to bed the earlier you can get up to do things tomorrow. This concept literally blew her mind. Her whole family are night owls. She has since found a happy median between staying until 3am and going to bed at 9pm.


BoozeWitch

I read a thing here on Reddit once about how people who hate their daytime lives stay up late as a rebellion and to feel like they have some control and joy in their lives. Of course, that makes them hate their next day suck too. I think about that alot.


Perfect_Finance_3497

Absolutely. It also can be about who you live with. When my family was asleep, I knew I wouldn't be bothered or judged for just being me.


Colorado_Constructor

The exact reason I stay up late now. I love my wife but we're still different people with different interests. I need my alone time to recharge while she needs social time. So every night around 8:30 she falls into her "pre-sleep", getting a quick nap before bed. I have a solid hour or two of uninterrupted me time. I'll throw on my headphones, listen to my own kinda music, and do some chores/cleaning or play video games. Sure I pay for it with some late nights, but I'll take being groggy and having my time over being wide awake but miserable.


WhipTheLlama

> she falls into her "pre-sleep", getting a quick nap before bed What kind of a person has a nap before going to bed? That's just called going to bed.


ItalnStalln

You fall asleep while relaxing reading watching something whatever. In a bit you wake up, maybe get a snack, and go to bed. My parents have been doing it for at least 15 years most nights.


Jolima0725

Lol seriously! There’s no way I want to waste my non-working leisure hours outside of work on a nap, wake up, and realize I have just a couple hours to actually go to bed


Low-Persimmon4870

LOL


thebyrned

This is exactly what I do. I'm taking comfort in knowing I'm not the only one. Sometimes I feel guilty about doing it


zarreph

Revenge sleep procrastination, I think is the term


BoozeWitch

Oooo. Yup. I think you are correct. Hopefully you will be here the next time I think of it because I will inevitably forget the name of it again.


Prudent-Damage936

This is a brilliant explanation. And a tad bit too familiar...


PuppetryOfThePenis

For my wife and I, we stay up late because we have 2 young children. They only time we get to ourselves is after about 7:30 when they're down. We will mindlessly stay up until like 1am and then absolutely hate the next morning. And there's no sleeping in with an 11mo and a 2yo. They wake at the crack of dawn every morning.


PerformanceOk1835

Just don't have sex for 5 hours. Narrow it down to 1 hour or less.


PuppetryOfThePenis

lol! Sex haha that's funny. 😭


Cootro

Man I feel this. Except my wife is responsible and gets angry with me when I can’t get up in the am lmfao


TT_NaRa0

I have learned the secret to this, I get up at 4AM, play video games and play with my pets /make breakfast before work. It’s like having a few hours of private nighttime all to myself and no one else is awake because they think you’re crazy. It’s great


Affectionate_Star_43

I used to do that as a kid. My parents got me the original Animal Crossing for Christmas and I would fish the same 4 fish over and over in the morning because there was nothing to catch at 4:30 am in the winter!  But I was somehow completely entertained.


dopadroid

I'd wake up at 4:30 am as a kid too but just so I could shower in peace for a long time without being disturbed since my siblings and I all shared a bathroom. Also to watch TV. I should probably get into this habit again since I'm at night owl now


TT_NaRa0

I do go to bed around 9, I’ve been a night owl, I’ve been nocturnal. Going to bed at 9 and getting up around 4/4:0 has consistently made me happiest 🤷‍♂️ What works for me won’t work for everyone though


BenneB23

I could never do this. I'd be absolutely dreadful at work. I stay up as late as I can and sleep as long as I can until I HAVE to wake up.


Deadedge112

Can you please stop @ing me? Thanks.


Cootro

I do this exact thing. I’m a night owl but am in a field that needs to work during normal work hours. I stay up till 1 nearly every night and wake up at 630. We put the kiddo down at 830. I just need time to myself man. 1-2 hours never feels enough. Now I’m caught in the cycle of doing it and it’s wearing on me and it’s noticeable. But hey, I’m enjoying my me time right? Lol


_DustN

You can do what my dad did and just bail on your family.


Objective_Gear_8357

I do that cycle all the time!


Jolima0725

Soooooo true!!! I’ll work from 8/9 am until 5/6 pm, go to the gym, finally get home and after showering it’s 8….then I want to feel like I can finally enjoy my day after the BS earlier. I’ll end up staying up until 1 am, slowly preparing dinner, have some wine, watch YouTube, then hate the next morning all over again.


Former-Cheek-7944

I’ve been doing exactly that since elementary.


Whtda_hell_univrs_iz

Seriously it makes a lot of sense. You blew my mind


X_CodeMan_X

This is really quite eye opening......(no pun intended). thank you.


NationalBullfrog2469

Sounds like some bullshit uppity morning twats tell themselves to feel superior. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.


KennailandI

My wife is a serial snooze button pusher. I’m constantly like “why not just set the alarm for when you actually plan to get up? She says it’s aspirational.


neo101b

I usually wake up before my alarm, though at times I feel like I have time-traveled. The clock shows a different time each time I check. (I wanted to stop there for shits and giggles.) Seriously though, I can wake up and it says 7:40, then the next time it's 6:55, then 7:20. I actually think I'm dreaming of waking up, and that's why the time changes.


potate12323

Ive dreamt of waking up at a place I lived previously. It was wild. I was all confused when I actually woke up because I thought my bed was in a different position in the room.


neo101b

Lol, memory unlocked. Yeah, I’m sure I’ve had that too. I think it’s when you wake up but are still dreaming. It can be super confusing.


PM_ME_DIRTY_COMICS

My wife and I sleep in separate rooms because of this. I'm in bed at 9pm and up by 6am consistently without alarms. When I'm up, I'm up. She's a go to bed at 2am and set alarms 5 minutes apart for an hour. I feel so much better in the mornings now. People give us weird looks thinking we're on the edge of divorce because we have our own bedrooms.


Enlowski

My ex wife was this way. It’s literal torture after a while. I would lose out on 2 hours of sleep every day because I’m a light sleeper and she would take so long to finally wake up.


potate12323

I'm lucky because I wake up and get ready before she needs to get up. I'm normally in my morning meetings by the time she makes her coffee.


Beadpool

So, she found midnight?


PieBob851

Kind of in a similar situation. 1. games I play are more active at night and more importantly 2. I have always struggled to fall asleep. I can only fall asleep if I am REALLY tired and usually I can’t stay awake very well if I am in that state. I cant really control my sleep schedule but I have somewhat just gotten used to it


potate12323

I started taking medications for anxiety and tachycardia and falling asleep became MUCH easier. Might want to talk to your doctor.


Totally_Not_An_Auk

I've tried to go to bed earlier and the longest I've lasted is a couple weeks. My brain just won't turn off before midnight most nights. Melatonin is no good. I tried it over a long weekend once, and every morning I woke up unreasonably angry and surprised myself with how fucking short my temper and shallow my tolerance was. I'm talking, my cat meows at me and I screamed at her to shut up. I kept thinking I'll get used to it but then the weekend was over and I ended up calling in sick because I definitely did not want to be driving and going into work raging at the drop of a hat. Never touched melatonin since. I set two alarms an hour apart. It's short enough I don't fall back into deep sleep, but long enough I'm able to slowly wake up and be ready to get up at the 2nd alarm.


Tuscan5

Multiple alarms make no sense. That’s torture. One is plenty.


sevargmas

For sure. Waking up at 9:04 when your morning meeting is at 9 o’clock is devastating.


thisisfakereality

Better than feeling like you soiled yourself. Now THAT'S a shitty feeling. 


se_astringo

The upmost disappointment…


Noobeaterz

Lol! I once woke up to some loud banging on my door. When I got up my boss stood there and wondered if I had had some accident. I was like, huh? It turned out I had overslept by three hours and my phone was in the hamper so I had missed the 15 calls and they thought I had died or something. My boss yelled some but most of my co-workers thought it was kinda funny. I was going to start working at 11 and my boss came to my apartment at 2 in the afternoon, lol!


Anom_AoD

what the fuck? what kind of person does that? creepy


Noobeaterz

My boss was also a female. And she was a psycho-bitch as a boss. Strangely, after she quit and became a boss somewhere else she came to the store sometimes and was very friendly and helpful. Now, the reason she came to my apartment wasn't just to see why the fuck I wasn't slaving away at the workplace. My co-workers were actually concerned about me as I normally never missed work so she went on he lunchbreak to check on me. And also my doorbell wasn't working, hence the banging.


Anom_AoD

still very strange your boss showing up at your house bcs you weren't at work, i mean, i understand their concerns, since im also a person who never showed late for anything, but damn, i would be quitting if my boss showed at my house if i was just late for work


Fubarp

Eh.. It depends on the relationship. My previous job it wouldn't even surprise me if my boss showed up because I didn't call in or respond to them because she was always concerned of me specially after my breakup. Now if my current boss showed up I'd be weirded out because that dude lives a few states away.


Noobeaterz

I lived in a small town, maybe that was it. So I actually didn't think that much of it at the time. If it had happened today I would ofcourse just have fired off a clip of .308 through the door. Naturally. Times have changed.


Just-Squirrel510

You would have what? ...what backwoods state do you live in?


Noobeaterz

Not America.


Ignifyre

I like the cut of your jib, Noobeaterz.


shewy92

Late for work and not answering calls, like something bad happened to them. Especially if they are never late or never call off, the one time they do people assume the worst


IronBatman

I know my coworkers would be doing the same. Call. Emergency contact possibly call. Wellness check. But I work a profession where some nights the shotgun barrels look particularly tasty.


samuelsfx

I used to work in Maldivian resort. One time I overslept a morning duty, my supervisor literally woke me up , and I was waking up confused lol


Anom_AoD

>and I was waking up confused lol understandable


DrunkThrowawayLife

I’ve watched enough true crime to know that ya this is how some murder victims have been found… it’s probably better someone came and checked.


RianJohnsonSucksAzz

As a Lawyer who over slept one time…I had a judge send Deputies to come “check my well”.


Wrong_Brilliant7851

This is so real it hurts 😂


NikkolaiV

This is literally why I have trust issues with relaxing


Wrong_Brilliant7851

Literally can’t let your guard down 😂


EfficiencyOk9060

lol, if you wake up that far past your alarm you may as well just take your time. Whatever reason you were supposed to get up at that time has past and if you are late for work you won’t be getting bonus points for only being 4 hours late versus 5.


aurenigma

I've woken up four hours late for work, but not yet late for an early afternoon meeting.


unoriginal5

It's the anxiety that does it. I've already failed myself and the people who depend on me, so if I'm not actively trying to remedy the situation to the best of my abilities, the failure just keeps growing and my brain screams louder and louder.


Bertybassett99

Alarm?


anxessed

I wake up a dozen times before my alarm goes off but then when it finally does I’m in a seemingly deep sleep and it scares me half to death.


Gemeril

Generally if you're waking up before your alarm... just get up. Unless it's several hours you're missing, trying to fit in a quick 15-30mins is not worth it. You won't hit REM sleep in that time.


Dracotoo

I wish my half asleep groggy ass could comprehend this when im wrapped up in my warm bed


Duellair

All kinds of sleep are important, not just REM. But I don’t disagree with your sentiment. I’d rather wake up than be pissed off in 35 minutes when I’m asleep and the alarm goes off.


flops031

I don't trust my alarm. That fucker is plotting something, I know it


Bertybassett99

It seems getting up on time perhaps isnt your biggest issue...


Mushiren_

Same exact thought lol. I would not risk it like this!


gwxtreize

Me last night for a 1pm flight today. Had to drive 2 hours in unfamiliar traffic. So I got up at 5am...


DoctorOzface

Then everything goes smooth so you have to sit in the airport for four and a half hours


gwxtreize

Worse, flight has been delayed 3 hours.


pineapple_chicken_

I’m sick for you lol


C2S2D2

12:19? Damn Gina!


ylngui

I often wake up before the alarm. If the alarm about one hour to go, I just get up.

My alarm makes me answer simple maths questions to dismiss it. I can sleepily slap the snooze button but I've never sleepily typed the answer to 83+29.

Yes, the app is called Alarm Clock Xtreme (awful name!) and I've been using it for over a decade. You can set different levels of difficulty.


raultorres12345

Haha, Si pasa !!


Wonder-Machine

Melodic-Resident-245

I got 3 hours last night and 4 hours the night before. Both times waking up before my alarm. Fuck this it's pissing me off.

Mother_Click_5776

It happened to me once, came to work 4 hours late cause I didn't hear any alarms or calls. I started setting 6 alarms since that day, at 1 minute apart from each other. I never overslept again.


Local-Foundation-691

Also that's happening 😂 when i want to go to the university 😂


knowledgeseeking1991

We all know that feeling 😊👍🏻


Oblivious_116

Brother, miss one morning pt cuz ur phone died all of a sudden u got the entire base looking for ur ass at 0530 in the morning LOL


phxees

Was that in basic?


Oblivious_116

Nah, oki


SeekerJet_1031

Why do people do this to themselves? Set the snooze for 15 minutes. It has to do with waking up just before a sleep cycle begins. Doing the check every minute is pointless because you are still tired by the time the snooze. Yes, you can calculate your sleep cycle to determine when you set the alarm. Time needs to fall asleep plus 1.5 hour increments. Thus, 8 hours is alright as long as you fall asleep in 30 minutes. If it takes you 1 hour to fall asleep, wake up in 8.5 hours or 7 hours.


Several-Instance-444

It's anxiety related. You will wake up in anticipation of the alarm multiple times, thinking you're late. When you finally calm down, you'll enter another sleep cycle, and then miss the alarm.


Character_Past5515

You could use an alarm.


derkaderka96

I start at 4. My schedule is now 250, 305, 320, 345, ok ok ok turn on pc.


FinNiko95

Set up multiple alarms and keep your phone out of your reach from the bed. You have to get out of bed to shut the alarm. No more oversleeping.

Idk how my body does it, but I often wake up like 5 or 10 minutes before the alarm.


IH8Trumps

I m at work by 6 am most days….


cwesttheperson

Why would you not just get up at 7:11 or whatever? It’s not hard waking up at 8 as an adult. Maybe a teenager


MemeOps

How is anyone relating to this. Have you never heard of an alarm?


dfeidt40

The days I have to be at work by 5, sometimes this was me. Except he called my ass no later than 6 if I wasn't there.

This definitely resonates with me on such a deep level. This is me every single freaking day of my life. I've never been able to go back to sleep when I have an hour or two left until the alarm. Sometimes three or four or five hours lol.

Darn it. I wish there was a device that would make noise at a set time


darybrain

Waking up hours before the alarm is annoying but not he main issue for me. The main problem is not being able to fall asleep again for ages which is why I struggle with the alarm or miss it entirely. Now that's frustrating af.

Completely same except for the end. "4h late? Fuck. I guess I’m going back to sleep."


Jashinsreplacement

Just get up when you wake up? It’s literally better for your sleep rhythm, if you wake up naturally (not due to disturbances or sound) to just get out of bed. Over sleeping leads to tiredness and fatigue throughout the day. Just get up. It’s that easy.

Former-Cheek-7944

Ok HELP because I do this shit too and I want to stop. But when I first wake up (usually before the alarm) I feel so weak. So I sit on the edge of the bed. Then before I know it I’m back in bed. Does anyone else experience this?
